Project Details
USF Collaborative for Children, Families and Communities
Description
The Collaborative brings together University faculty, nationally known researchers, community service professionals, neighborhood activists, and ordinary moms and dads to build a better future for children and families in the Tampa Bay area. We address issues as diverse as teenage fatherhood, welfare reform, young women's self-esteem, and helping children cope with their fears after the World Trade Center terrorist attacks. The Collaborative does no research nor community projects itself. Instead, we award small grants to faculty conducting interdisciplinary field research, offer internships for graduate students who will work in neighborhood projects, and sponsor workshops and conferences which bring together academics and working professionals.
